Answer:

95% confidence interval for the proportion of the adults who were opposed to the death penalty is (0.668, 0.704).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a survey asked whether respondents favored or opposed the death penalty for people convicted of murder. Software shows the results below, where X refers to the number of the respondents who were in favor.

X = 1,790

N = 2,610

\hat p = Sample proportion = X/N = 0.6858

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion  is given by;

     P.Q. = \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = sample proportion = 0.6858

           n = sample of respondents = 2,610

           p = population proportion

<em>Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z proportion statistics.</em>

So, 95% confidence interval for the population​ proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95  {As the critical value of z at

                                   2.5% level of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < 1.96) = 0.95

P( -1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } < {\hat p-p} < 1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

P( \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } < p < \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } ) = 0.95

<u>95% confidence interval for p</u> = [ \hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } , \hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }]

  = [ 0.6858-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} } , 0.6858+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.6858(1-0.6858)}{2610} } ]

  = [0.668 , 0.704]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion of the adults is (0.668, 0.704).

identify a transformation of the function f(x) = √x by observing the equation of the function g(x) = √x-2
gregori [183]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

f(x)=\sqrt{x} is the Square Root Function. These are the characteristics of the graph of the square root function:

  • The domain of the function is the set of all non negative real numbers.
  • The range of the function is the set of all non negative real numbers.
  • The graph has an intercept at (0,0).
  • The graph is increasing on the interval (0, \infty).

Since the function g(x)=\sqrt{x}-2, then this stands for the form:

g(x)=f(x)-c. This form tells us that the graph of f has been shifted c units downward where the value c = 2 in this problem. The graphs of both functions are shown below. The red one is f(x) while the blue one is g(x)

What are the real and imaginary parts of the complex number?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The real part is 2

The imaginary part is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex number consists of a real part and an imaginary part. For example given the complex number z = x+it

x is the real part of the complex number z i.e Re(z) = x

Imaginary part of the complex number z is y i.e Im(z) = y.

Note that the real part are on the x axis of a graph while the y axis is the imaginary axis attached to the complex notation i

Given the complex number 2-5i

Comparing 2-5i to x+iy

x= 2 and y = -5

The real part is 2 (value that is not attached to the complex notation)

The imaginary part is 5(value attached to the complex notation)
